Coin and Country

[nanaimo_bar]

Good day everyone, I trust everyone is well this day.

I have a proposition to benefit everyone. Since our arrival, I have looked into investing what little coin I have managed to earn into the local markets and economy and I have managed to wring coin from whatever I have found profitable. That being said, I would like to extend some of my findings to those who are looking to turn a profit.

My nation has a saying: For Coin and Country. One cannot found those airships without coin, and certainly without capital. It will be laborious but everyone needs to chip in.

If you wish to discuss business, I will be at my home, for the following week.

Sincerely yours, Nanamo Ul Namo.

Ashelia nodded. "Of course. I ask only this; that you do so slowly and subtly enough that he does not begin to suspect our true purpose."

She sighed, now shaking her head. "I have no more love for organized crime than you do, I assure you, but we must needs allow him and his men to operate more or less normally until I've earned their trust fully. At least one of his men is already suspicious."

"Fair enough," said Nanamo as the second course came out, a wonderfully grilled roast for the two of them to share.

"Dancing among the weeds is going to take more skillful navigation than both of us combined."

Ashelia tilted her head to the side, murmuring a soft thank you to the moogle as the second course was served. "Perhaps. I do not intend to involve the others overmuch...but I will need people I can trust to guard the shipment, and the most obvious solution is to solicit the help of our fellow Heroes. I plan to hold interviews soon to that end."

"Manpower is an issue. There is an excellent amount of people here who we can trust," said Nanamo. "Sending a careful call to those who would become adventurers in our aid could very well turn the tide of our needs."

The young queen nodded, digging into the roast. "I've two or three in mind, my former comrades from Crystallis. Combatants all, well trained or experienced enough to make no difference."

She paused, having tasted the roast. "This is excellent. Lady Nanamo, you simply must give me the recipe."

"That will be good then, and it will help in the long run."

"Papashan is an excellent cook," said Nanamo with a smile. "I will let him write up the recipe before you depart."
